I know that you have told us about your relationship with a cosmetic surgery nut. My new gf is in love with this stuff… She is a beautiful girl, and I like that. She has had four surgeries and says she’s done. She looks awesome, what’s wrong with looking beautiful. I think you just don’t like spending the money. I can spend it. I have a lot of it. She and I will probably get married, I hope. Guys look at her all the time, and I love that. They’re all jealous.. Maybe you are because you can’t spend money on it. My parents like her a lot too. Get a life..

Dear Ben..

I happen to know your parents, Dude! You live at home, have zero money, and your girlfriend has lots of it. She is twenty-three, and has surgery because she’s very bored with life, and wants to be a Kardashian. Well, my friend, she already has a head start on that with her lack of personality and confidence. If she is going under the knife five times before twenty-three, get ready for another thirty surgeries before her face (and posterior) crack into little, bitty pieces. I will repeat myself. If you have a horrible scar, hair-lip or unsightly mole, I suggest you have it removed. If you are 20 lbs. overweight, start on a diet. If you are much older, and can afford it, I have no issues with it. Surgeries are a message that you lack confidence and have absolutely no direction or purpose in your life. I have a life, Sport. I am 14 pounds overweight and graying at the temples, and frankly, Ben, I don’t give a damn. Surgery is for weak people who lack a personality to hook a mate. That “void” will expose itself soon enough. Read a book, won’t you? Your parents tell me that you never have. And you say “I need a life?”
